So you’ve beaten Bloodborne, have you? That makes you a gaming master, doesn’t it? After this, there’s not really any other challenge when it comes to combat, right?

Wrong.

Slapping you in the face from left field and humbling even the most battle-hardened Bloodborne player, in swaggers The Old Hunters DLC. This additional content seems to be FromSoftware’s way of reminding you that you’re still their bitch. As soon as you think you’ve mastered this game’s mechanics, they yeet The Orphan of Kos into the ring.

This Lovecraftian horror show of a boss is the literal works of nightmares and has two phases it can shift back and forth between during the fight. The first has a massive variety of both ranged and close attacks, with the second seeing The Orphan sprout wings and making aerial attacks too. The speed and force of this boss are unmatched by anything that has come before and spamming quick-attacks will only result in a quick death.

Pinpoint precision, perfectly-timed dodges, planned attacks and using the environment to your advantage is the only way for you to get through this one. However, running away and crying is also a perfectly viable option.
